Picot Frame: A Must Have in Every Studio

These frames are the "Cadillac of Frames" in silk painting. They are the best frames on the market, and they are well worth the investment. Easy and sturdy.
Two of the four bars contain closely spaced small sharp brass needles. Their function is to hold the fabric tightly in place. When you are painting, your fingers are protected from the sharp needles by hinged covers that fold over the needles. The silk is stretched with great ease and can be removed in a second. The silk can also be re-stretched quickly should it sag from excessive moisture or salt. You can stretch pre-hemmed silk scarves of any size on the large frame, from small size to two yards. With the large frame, you can also paint up to five 11" x 60" scarves at the same time. The frame unfolds for use and folds into a compact size for easy storage.
